Purple Rain Again

I did a purple rain themed piece for the drips and drops on CVC site.
However, I wanted to have another go using PA fresco paints.

I started by cutting assorted raindrop shapes from some purply papers and glued them to my journal page!


Next, I used a Lin Brown stencil and put gel medium through, making sure that some went over the raindrops.
I mixed some fresco paint with water. Lilac and Bougainvillea together and Eggplant on its own and watered them down in little spray bottles.
I sprayed them randomly onto my page and blended them with baby wipes.
I used the same mix paints to drip down and then up the page.


I was pleased with how this turned out and the up drips reminded me of plants, so I took the same stencil and heat embossed some purple "flowers".


I nearly stamped Ruby Rainbow, like I did last time but decided to look for something suitable in my PA stash instead. Ping! found one of my favourite stamps. Stamped it several times on tissue, tore it a bit and glued it to my journal. If you look you will see several "hidden" faces.
Finally, I printed out part of the Purple Rain lyrics and scribbled round a bit!
Enjoyed this and love the versatility of the Fresco Paints.


So, off it goes into the PA paint challenge!

  8. Ooh, what a cool page - lyrics and all. Fabulous dreamy deep purples, and the drops work so well as blooms. I'm off to track down your CVC entry, but you could play this one too!
